Large ground floor Club room at front of the building, parking area outside large windows was noisy plus 24/7 lights from busy main road. Close to reception. Room a bit shabby but airy and warm from easily controlled radiators. Comfortable clean beds. Very small shower and toilet - could do with updating. Toilet seat was loose, needs repair, could be hazardous for older person like me. Reception staff were very helpful and friendly on aŕrival, showed me a couple of rooms but the lift was not working so couldn't look upstairs. Buffet breakfast choices excellent, cereals, fruits, yoghurt, toast etc.juices, tea, coffee, oatmilk. Full English 😋 freshly cooked.

You get what you pay for

Ultimately you get what you pay for. I stayed in room 200. The room was clean and the bed comfortable but overall the decor was dated. Not a problem for me as I was only staying 1 night. One think it is lacking is a bedside table which was annoying but not a major issue. This is an excellent location if you are visiting your child at Reading University (as I was) because it is a 15 minute walk, or 5 minute drive away. There are all the amenities you need. Kettle, fridge, microwave, plates, bowls, cutlery and a hairdryer. I didnt have the breakfast so I can't comment on that.

Very busy car park on a Saturday night. Clean room though decor a bit dated. Mould in corner of bathroom ceiling and bath plug drained very slowly. Comfy beds which were nice and firm. Fridge, microwave, plates and cutlery provided. Could hear traffic noise from the room. Got the room at a very reasonable price so will consider again in future.

My room was at the back of the Stables building, and the adjacent property had a load of rubbish dumped in the garden after what I’d guess was some refurbishment….it looked like a builder’s unkept yard. The room was extremely dated and seems to have remained untouched since the 70’s, maybe 80’s. The toilet seat wouldn’t stay up, which is quite frustrating for a man. The heated towel rail looked unsafe, with burn marks at the connector. Notwithstanding, it was mostly clean (except for one of the bath towels that had brown stains on it, and the carpet which you could feel bits of dirt underfoot and could do with thorough vacuuming), and cheap. It’s in a good location close to The Oracle, and might be OK if/when on a tight budget, but I don’t plan on staying there again.
